New Zealand locks down over three positive COVID cases

Lockdown, and totalitarianism, is now the norm in New Zealand. The people are accustomed to accepting it, the government is accustomed to inflicting it, and so now it only has to follow the time-worn course that this process has followed since the dawn of our species.
